HIST 368. Blurred Borders: A Cultural History of the Caribbean, Latin America and the United States


Credits 3.00 PeopleSoft Course ID 007321

This course explores the political, social and diplomatic relations between the United States, the Caribbean and Latin America. In each of these regions, Europeans, Africans and indigenous peoples came together in unequal colonial systems after 1492. The course will analyze cultural expressions such as theater, literature, music, film, poetry, essays and diplomatic correspondence to examine the interconnectedness of these regions and explore how the identities of these territories are shaped in connection to one another.
